1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: So Janick Sinner has taken at the Italian, defending his

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: first ever Grand Slam title. This in Melbourne overnight on

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: Saturday evening. It was Madison Keys upsetting Ariana Sebelenka to

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: claim her first Grand Slam title. David was sorry, David

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: Worsley is with us this morning, Dave, good morning, good morning, right, yeah,

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: good to have you on. So what happened last night.

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: Well, pretty dramatic in a sense that dramatic that we

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: saw Janick Sinner when his third Grand Slam overall, and

9
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: to think the second seed alexandro Verev to set very close,

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: but then it was really you saw a Sinner just

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: up his level and Zena have just struggled to keep up.

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: But it was a great final in the sense of

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: the hitting was just so powerful, the way they played

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: each other around the court, and the way that just

15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: had an answer to everything. So we are seeing potentially

16
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: a great player here in Janick Center as he took

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: his well second Grand Name in a row to winning

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: US Open last year. And of course the Australian opened

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: early last year as well, and the Italian is just

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: looking looking like he's going to be adding a lot

21
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: of Grand Slam titles to his tally, so that that

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: was last night. It was it was a good final,

23
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: but Alexander Verrea, third time he's been runner up in

24
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: a Grand Slam now.

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: In Spare I thought quite quite an honest assessment from

26
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: him post match, saying basically, Sinner's better.

27
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And that was the most honest thing he

28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: could say. It was that, yes, Sinner is just too

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: good alan the court. There the devastation for Zeev. He

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: was about to talk in front of everybody and he

31
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: had his shield, not the trophy, and he struggled. You

32
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: could see the emotion coming out, and eventually he was

33
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: able to say something and basically it was Janix Sinner

34
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: was too good tonight. Hopefully I'll be able to actually

35
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: win that trophy in the future, but tonight definitely too good.

36
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: The anti doping issue that's sort of been plaguing Center

37
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: could come back again. Does it have the potential to

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: affect his French Open and whether he could even get

39
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: on the court.

40
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: Yes, the French Opening particular because Wada is having I

41
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: guess I could say, having another go at him and

42
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: protesting about negligence rather than the actual fact that he

43
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: had something in a system, albeit a very minor something.

44
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: So they're going to try to put negligence on this

45
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: one and likely they could come through and get a

46
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: ban on Cinner. Well, this is the predictions anyway. Albeit

47
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: it could be a retrospective band, which is a band

48
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: without having a band basically. So what it could be,

49
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: for instance, is that he gets a month that is

50
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: not allowed to play on the tour instead of potentially

51
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 2: six months, and they'll say, well, because it's taken so long,

52
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: we'll say that you've actually served part of this band

53
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: even though you haven't, and will mean that you can

54
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: take a month off and you won't be able to play,

55
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 2: say the French Open. So that's all the delicate things

56
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 2: that happen around the drugs, non drugs, doping etc. And

57
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: that's the protection that we'll probably see going through because

58
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: while are out to get something because they are very

59
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: enoyed that they didn't text get him initially.

60
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: All right, Dave, thank you so much for that update.

61
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: I guess he'll just save the win while he's got it.
